  Dark´eddying�察�whirl light stalks and flying straws。

    Oft too comes looming vast along the sky

  A march of waters�察�mustering from above��

  The clouds roll up the tempest�察�heaped and grim

  With angry showers�此�down falls the height of heaven��

  And with a great rain floods the smiling crops��

  The oxen's labour�此�now the dikes fill fast��

  And the void river´beds swell thunderously��

  And all the panting firths of Ocean boil。

  The Sire himself in midnight of the clouds

  Wields with red hand the levin�察�through all her bulk

  Earth at the hurly quakes�察�the beasts are fled��

  And mortal hearts of every kindred sunk

  In cowering terror�察�he with flaming brand

  Athos�察�or Rhodope�察�or Ceraunian crags

  Precipitates�此�then doubly raves the South

  With shower on blinding shower�察�and woods and coasts

  Wail fitfully beneath the mighty blast。

  This fearing�察�mark the months and Signs of heaven��

  Whither retires him Saturn's icy star��

  And through what heavenly cycles wandereth

  The glowing orb Cyllenian。 Before all

  Worship the Gods�察�and to great Ceres pay

  Her yearly dues upon the happy sward

  With sacrifice�察�anigh the utmost end

  Of winter�察�and when Spring begins to smile。

  Then lambs are fat�察�and wines are mellowest then��

  Then sleep is sweet�察�and dark the shadows fall

  Upon the mountains。 Let your rustic youth

  To Ceres do obeisance�察�one and all��

  And for her pleasure thou mix honeycombs

  With milk and the ripe wine´god�察�thrice for luck

  Around the young corn let the victim go��

  And all the choir�察�a joyful company��

  Attend it�察�and with shouts bid Ceres come

  To be their house´mate�察�and let no man dare

  Put sickle to the ripened ears until��

  With woven oak his temples chapleted��

  He foot the rugged dance and chant the lay。

    Aye�察�and that these things we might win to know

  By certain tokens�察�heats�察�and showers�察�and winds

  That bring the frost�察�the Sire of all himself

  Ordained what warnings in her monthly round

  The moon should give�察�what bodes the south wind's fall��

  What oft´repeated sights the herdsman seeing

  Should keep his cattle closer to their stalls。

  No sooner are the winds at point to rise��

  Than either Ocean's firths begin to toss

  And swell�察�and a dry crackling sound is heard

  Upon the heights�察�or one loud ferment booms

  The beach afar�察�and through the forest goes

  A murmur multitudinous。 By this

  Scarce can the billow spare the curved keels��

  When swift the sea´gulls from the middle main

  Come winging�察�and their shrieks are shoreward borne��

  When ocean´loving cormorants on dry land

  Besport them�察�and the hern�察�her marshy haunts

  Forsaking�察�mounts above the soaring cloud。

  Oft�察�too�察�when wind is toward�察�the stars thou'lt see

  From heaven shoot headlong�察�and through murky night

  Long trails of fire white´glistening in their wake��

  Or light chaff flit in air with fallen leaves��

  Or feathers on the wave´top float and play。

  But when from regions of the furious North

  It lightens�察�and when thunder fills the halls

  Of Eurus and of Zephyr�察�all the fields

  With brimming dikes are flooded�察�and at sea

  No mariner but furls his dripping sails。

  Never at unawares did shower annoy��

  Or�察�as it rises�察�the high´soaring cranes

  Flee to the vales before it�察�with face

  Upturned to heaven�察�the heifer snuffs the gale

  Through gaping nostrils�察�or about the meres

  Shrill´twittering flits the swallow�察�and the frogs

  Crouch in the mud and chant their dirge of old。

  Oft�察�too�察�the ant from out her inmost cells��

  Fretting the narrow path�察�her eggs conveys��

  Or the huge bow sucks moisture�察�or a host

  Of rooks from food returning in long line

  Clamour with jostling wings。 Now mayst thou see

  The various ocean´fowl and those that pry

  Round Asian meads within thy fresher´pools��

  Cayster�察�as in eager rivalry��

  About their shoulders dash the plenteous spray��

  Now duck their head beneath the wave�察�now run

  Into the billows�察�for sheer idle joy

  Of their mad bathing´revel。 Then the crow

  With full voice�察�good´for´naught�察�inviting rain��

  Stalks on the dry sand mateless and alone。

  Nor e'en the maids�察�that card their nightly task��

  Know not the storm´sign�察�when in blazing crock

  They see the lamp´oil sputtering with a growth

  Of mouldy snuff´clots。

                         So too�察�after rain��

  Sunshine and open skies thou mayst forecast��

  And learn by tokens sure�察�for then nor dimmed

  Appear the stars' keen edges�察�nor the moon

  As borrowing of her brother's beams to rise��

  Nor fleecy films to float along the sky。

  Not to the sun's warmth then upon the shore

  Do halcyons dear to Thetis ope their wings��

  Nor filthy swine take thought to toss on high

  With scattering snout the straw´wisps。 But the clouds

  Seek more the vales�察�and rest upon the plain��

  And from the roof´top the night´owl for naught

  Watching the sunset plies her 'lated song。

  Distinct in clearest air is Nisus seen

  Towering�察�and Scylla for the purple lock

  Pays dear�察�for whereso�察�as she flies�察�her wings

  The light air winnow�察�lo� �fierce�察�implacable��

  Nisus with mighty whirr through heaven pursues��

  Where Nisus heavenward soareth�察�there her wings

  Clutch as she flies�察�the light air winnowing still。

  Soft then the voice of rooks from indrawn throat

  Thrice�察�four times�察�o'er repeated�察�and full oft

  On their high cradles�察�by some hidden joy

  Gladdened beyond their wont�察�in bustling throngs

  Among the leaves they riot�察�so sweet it is��

  When showers are spent�察�their own loved nests again

  And tender brood to visit。 Not�察�I deem��

  That heaven some native wit to these assigned��

  Or fate a larger prescience�察�but that when

  The storm and shifting moisture of the air

  Have changed their courses�察�and the sky´god now��

  Wet with the south´wind�察�thickens what was rare��

  And what was gross releases�察�then�察�too�察�change

  Their spirits' fleeting phases�察�and their breasts

  Feel other motions now�察�than when the wind

  Was driving up the cloud´rack。 Hence proceeds

  That blending of the feathered choirs afield��

  The cattle's exultation�察�and the rooks'

  Deep´throated triumph。

                         But if the headlong sun

  And moons in order following thou regard��

  Ne'er will to´morrow's hour deceive thee�察�ne'er

  Wilt thou be caught by guile of cloudless night。

  When first the moon recalls her rallying fires��

  If dark the air clipped by her crescent dim��

  For folks afield and on the open sea

  A mighty rain is brewing�察�but if her face

  With maiden blush she mantle�察�'twill be wind��

  For wind turns Phoebe still to ruddier gold。

  But if at her fourth rising�察�for 'tis that

  Gives surest counsel�察�clear she ride thro' heaven

  With horns unblunted�察�then shall that whole day��

  And to the month's end those that spring from it��

  Rainless and windless be�察�while safe ashore

  Shall sailors pay their vows to Panope��

  Glaucus�察�and Melicertes�察�Ino's child。

    The sun too�察�both at rising�察�and when soon

  He dives beneath the waves�察�shall yield thee signs��

  For signs�察�none trustier�察�travel with the sun��

  Both those which in their course with dawn he brings��

  And those at star´rise。 When his springing orb

  With spots he pranketh�察�muffled in a cloud��

  And shrinks mid´circle�察�then of showers beware��

  For then the South comes driving from the deep��

  To trees and crops and cattle bringing bane。

  Or when at day´break through dark clouds his rays

  Burst and are scattered�察�or when rising pale

  Aurora quits Tithonus' saffron bed��

  But sorry shelter then�察�alack I will yield

  Vine´leaf to ripening grapes�察�so thick a hail

  In spiky showers spins rattling on the roof。

  And this yet more 'twill boot thee bear in mind��

  When now�察�his course upon Olympus run��

  He draws to his decline�此�for oft we see

  Upon the sun's own face strange colours stray��

  Dark tells of rain�察�of east winds fiery´red��

  If spots with ruddy fire begin to mix��

  Then all the heavens convulsed in wrath thou'lt see´

  Storm´clouds and wind together。 Me that night

  Let no man bid fare forth upon the deep��

  Nor rend the rope from shore。 But if�察�when both

  He brings again and hides the day's return��

  Clear´orbed he shineth��idly wilt thou dread

  The storm´clouds�察�and beneath the lustral North

  See the woods waving。 What late eve in fine

  Bears in her bosom�察�whence the wind that brings

  Fair´weather´clouds�察�or what the rain South

  Is meditating�察�tokens of all these

  The sun will give thee。 Who dare charge the sun

  With leasing�拭�He it is who warneth oft

  Of hidden broils at hand and treachery��

  And secret swelling of the waves of war。

  He too it was�察�when Caesar's light was quenched��

  For Rome had pity�察�when his bright head he veiled

  In iron´hued darkness�察�till a godless age

  Trembled for night eternal�察�at that time

  Howbeit earth also�察�and the ocean´plains��

  And dogs obscene�察�and birds of evil bode

  Gave tokens。 Yea�察�how often have we seen

  Etna�察�her furnace´walls asunder riven��

  In billowy floods boil o'er the Cyclops' fields��

  And roll down globes of fire and molten rocks��

  A clash of arms through all the heaven was heard

  By Germany�察�strange heavings shook the Alps。

  Yea�察�and by many through the breathless groves

  A voice was heard with power�察�and wondrous´pale

  Phantoms were seen upon the dusk of night��

  And cattle spake�察�portentous� �streams stand still��

  And the earth yawns asunder�察�ivory weeps

  For sorrow in the shrines�察�and bronzes sweat。

  Up´twirling forests with his eddying tide��

  Madly he bears them down�察�that lord of floods��

  Eridanus�察�till through all the plain are swept

  Beasts and their stalls together。 At that time

  In gloomy entrails ceased not to appear

  Dark´threatening fibres�察�springs
